Stupid LJ tricks and TRAINING CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off: does anybody have any idea why my LJ style keeps resetting itself from Flexible Squares to Generator? I've only noticed it when I'm at work, in (sigh) IE, but it keeps my custom colors and other settings, and if I go to Customize and change it back to Flexible Squares, it works fine.

Anyway. It's mid-September! It's Callum Keith Rennie's birthday! It's BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I POSTED ABOUT HOCKEY!

First off: The Washigton Capitals have named their captain for this season: #17, Chris Clark!
It's okay, Clarkie, you don't have to dance with Ted just because he owns the team. But it might help.

There was talk about naming last year's super-rookie, Alex Ovechkin, captain this year, but I'm pleased they held off. Olie Kolzig is the real leader of the team, and Alex is all of twenty years old and will always be front and center; it's good to let somebody else carry the C on his shoulder.

Secondly: The Detroit Red Wings STILL have not named their next captain, but I forgive them because the guys are just so cute in their civvies, getting on a BUS to go to training camp:


That's Nik Kronwall, Tomas Holmstrom, Kris Draper, and Chris Chelios, for those who don't recognize them without labels. I am kind of enormously amused by the PASTY LEGS on display here. Hands up who spent their summer north of the 45th parallel!


Yeah, you may be the Dominator and kind of a snappy dresser, but you still have to load your own suitcase.


Chris, Robert, sorry, backup goalies and underperforming scorers have to put their stuff on the roof. Hope you brought duct tape!


Hank, of course, knows what the truly imporant piece of luggage for training camp is: golf clubs. It's been a looooong summer practicing...
